Misleading OAuth attribution and tampering with a foreign AI-agent authentication surface. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.35.2 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation silently changes a third-party AI OAuth callback page to display Brigade branding.

This can misrepresent the identity of an authentication flow. - **Trigger:** npm installation, which invokes postinstall automatically. - **Impact:** Misleading OAuth attribution and tampering with a foreign AI-agent authentication surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T07:08:06.161Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall rewrite of a dependency-owned OAuth callback page. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, package.json launches scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs. The script locates the OAuth callback page inside the separate @earendil-works/pi-ai dependency, replaces its logo, title, favicon, and styling with Brigade assets, and writes it back. This is an unconsented install-time modification of a foreign AI authentication surface. - **Rationale:** The package performs an automatic, persistent rewrite of a foreign dependency's OAuth callback UI during postinstall. That concrete tampering outweighs the absence of demonstrated data theft. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs, node\_modules/@earendil-works/pi-ai/utils/oauth/oauth-page.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The automatic postinstall hook runs a branding script without a user command., The hook resolves an OAuth module from the separate pi-ai dependency and targets its callback page., It rewrites that dependency's OAuth page logo, title, favicon, and HTML, then writes the result back. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection, network exfiltration, or remote payload download is present in the install hook. ## Public findings ### 1.
